Merry Christmas everyone, and hope wherever you were or whoever you were with you had an amazing day. Now it is time for the holiday edition of Monday Poll. Before that however quick programming note as I will be taking a little vacation starting tomorrow through Saturday so will be away from the blog during that time, however when I get back I will post a recap of all the week’s games that I missed. No in terms of the poll last week 8 out of 10 of you who voted said the Patriots would be the number one seed in the AFC entering the playoffs. This week’s question is… who was the funnest Boston sports team to watch during 2017? Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots, or Celtics?

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy Christmas weekend as we hit the home stretch of 2017 heading into 2018. In the final week of 2017 there is some exciting Raider sports vacation action, so without any further ado here’s a look at what the final week of the year brings!
